Just to summarise the problems - Iceweasel (and FireFox) is the only "integrated" GUI gopher browser, most other gopher browsers just show the gopher menu tree and in some cases plain text documents with Iceweasel I can view images, html documents, flash files, sound files etc (assuming I have the appropriate plug-in) where as other gopher browsers would have to open another application, also other GUI gopher browsers have suffered from a lack of development in recent years (mainly (IMHO) because Iceweasel/FireFox did the job so well) which means they can look quite dated and lack a certain user friendliness (as far as I know the console gopher client -is the only dedicated gopher client still under active development).
